[Brandenburg Concerti, BWV 1046-1051] Brandenburgische Konzerte. Faksimile des Autographen. Faksimileausgabe nach dem Autograph Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin – Preußische Kulturbesitz, Musikabteilung, Am.B.78.

Leipzig, 4/ 1996. Oblong, 33 x 26 cm, 170 pp. Halftone monochrome of the dedication autograph score—dated 24 March 1721—for Christian Ludwig, Margrave of Brandenburg. Bach's elegantly penned title "Concerts avec plusieurs instruments" (concertos with several instruments) is a somewhat modest description of the concertos to follow, in that many different combinations of instruments and sonorities are exploited, perhaps deliberately to get the Margrave's attention and approval, not unlike the way Mozart used his Gran Partita to introduce himself to the Viennese public. Sadly the autograph score was left unused in the Margrave's library until his death in 1734, the reason being (it is believed) that he lacked the musicians to perform the concertos. One of the great gems of Western music, this facsimile is a perfect gift for any wind or string player, harpsichordist, conductor or music lover. Handsome binding in brown linen with lettering in gold. $285 (more info... ) [item no.7619]


[Concerti, harpsichord, strgs, BWV 1052, -53, -54, -55, -56, -57, -58, -59] Concerti a Cembalo obligato BWV 1052-1059. Autograph Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Commentary by / Kommentar von Christoph Wolff, Martina Rebmann.

Documenta Musicologica, II/57. Kassel, 2021. 24 x 40 cm, viii, 106, 28 pp. Deluxe 4-color facsimile of the autograph (collective) score mus. ms. aut. Bach P. 234. Johann Sebastian Bach composed not only for the nobility and the church, but also for bourgeois musical culture. Among these works are the harpsichord concertos, “music for a Leipzig ‘coffee house”. They are notated in a 1738 manuscript that is a unique and probably the most important document for the instrumental repertoire of the Leipzig “Collegium Musicum”. The concerto movements are arranged in such a way that the harpsichord is given a solo part that exploits the instrument’s “clavieristic” possibilities to the full. These works thus fix a decisive moment in the early history of the piano concerto genre which received significant impulses from Bach and his circle of students. Hardbound, with leather spine and decorative paper boards. 10% discount for early subscribers. $345 (more info... ) [item no.9665]

Kassel, 2000. 4º, 7 vols, 95, 41, 200 pp. The “bible” for students of the Bach Cello Suites. New full-size line-cut reproductions of source A, B, C, D, plus the Paris 1st edition [Janet et Cotelle, c.1824]. The first two are in the hand of Anna Magdalena Bach and Johann Peter Kellner, 1727-1731 and 1726 respectively, and as such, are the most autoritative. Source C (2nd half of 18th c.) comes from the estate of Johann Christoph Westphal, a Hamburg organist, printer and music dealer. Source D, or “Traeg” MS, also late 18th c. is named after Johann Traeg, a Vienese art and music dealer who once owned it. As none of the sources derive directly from the now lost autograph nor from each other, they all have a special importance in the textual tradition of the suites. A close comparison discloses significant textual discrepancies, sometimes the result of accidental slips, and at others, true alternative readings. Includes new urtext edition and critical notes.

Homosassa, 1995. 28 x 40 cm, 16 facs, 80 pp. Full-color facsimile of the composing (short) score written in 1944 in New York (and Saranac Lake), which, along with the Third Piano Concerto, is the composer’s last work. The concerto, a commission of the violist William Primrose, although “complete”, was not scored by Bartók (the composer referred to its orchestration as “mechanical work”), and surely many details and modifications would have occurred when he transferred the composition onto the final score paper. That task was later completed by Tibor Serly. With this facsimile we can finally answer the question, how much is Bartók, and what details come from Serly.

[Quartet, strings, op.132, no.15, A minor] Streichquartett a-moll op.132. Vollständige Faksimileausgabe der Handschrift Mus. ms. autogr. Beethoven Mend.-Stift. 11 der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin—Preußischer Kulturbesitz. Vorwort von András Schiff, Einleitung von Ernst Herttrich.

[Henle Music Facsimiles, 22]. Munich, 2011. Oblong, 35 x 29 cm, 168, xxiv pp. Beautiful 4-color halftone. The heart of Beethoven’s Quartet op. 132 is the “Holy song of thanksgiving”, in which Beethoven takes up old counterpoint techniques and Gregorian simplicity. In this unusually beautiful and well preserved manuscript, Beethoven generously makes the most of the space on its pages. The lavish 4-color printing allows the composer’s occasionally unconventional manner of notation to come to life. It permits a unique insight into the creative process, which continued after it had been written down in the form of multiple additions and changes. The edition is rounded off with a preface by the pianist András Schiff, with his generous support this valuable facsimile was made possible. Hardbound. $190 (more info... ) [item no.9189]

[Henle Music Facsimiles, 28]. Munich, 2019. Oblong & upright, 34 x 26, 26.5 x 39 cm, 2 vols, xx, 34; 32 pp. Beautiful 4-color halftone of the “Archduke” Trio, a work dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, and regarded as the greatest of all works for this combination of instruments. The Trio in B-flat was probably performed at the Archduke's palace soon after it was written, but its public premiere did not take place until April 11, 1814, on which occasion the violinist was Ignaz Schuppanzigh (leader of the famous string quartet that introduced many of Beethoven's quartets and later some of Schubert's), the cellist was Joseph Linke (for whom Beethoven composed sonatas), and the pianist was Beethoven himself, in his last public appearance at the keyboard (Richard Freed). It’s unclear whether this autograph, with inscription “Trio am 3ten März 1811”, is actually from 1811 or whether the inscription was added later. Despite the presence of editorial/publisher’s markings this copy does not seems to to have served as the faircopy. Hardbound with decorative paper boards and pasted title etikette, produced on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven birth. $196 (more info... ) [item no.9604]

Prague, 2006. Oblong, 4°, 5, 4, 4 pp. Full-color facsimile of the autograph score, together with modern performance parts.

We can easily imagine this Largo having been composed to provide variety in a musical soirée in someone’s home, with the composer himself playing the viola, colleagues of his the flute and violin, and one of the audience members the triangle. Dvořák’s annotation at the end—“mea culpa, mea maxima culpa”—suggests that the piece may have been intended as a joke. Preface in Czech-Eng-Ger-Fr-Jap. Wrappers. $28 [item no.8784]

Documenta Musicologica, II/32. Kassel, 2004. 4˚, 26, 70 pp. Handel's great outdoor piece for strings and wind band. Halftone of the 1749 autograph score, composed for the celebration of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The overture is the longest single instrumental movement that Handel wrote and is scored for tpt 1-3 (x3), hn 1-3 (x3), ob 1-3 (x12, x8, x4), bsn 1-2 (x8, x4), timp (3 pairs), & bc.

This is a fascinating score, in Handel’s forceful script, showing his erasures by smudging, his clarifications by writing note letters over a correction, and his normal abbreviations for colla parte using custodes. The manuscript also bears evidence of arguments over scoring that went on with the civil servants organizing the spectacle. Preface in Ger/Eng. Hardbound. $68 (more info... ) [item no.8448]

Hoffmeister in seinem Wiener Verlag erstmals veröffentlichten Werkes, das er in das 1800 neu gegründete “Bureau de Musique Hoffmeister & Kühnel (seit 1813 C.F. Peters) als Verlagsnummer 1 einbrachte.

Frankfurt, [1980]. 23 x 30 cm, 4 parts, 16 pp. Fine line-cut of the Vienna, 1788 edition. This work, especially the fugue section, has a clear connection to the music of Bach, introduced to him in 1782. It is a transcription for strings of his Fugue in C minor for two pianos, K.426 written in 1783. This beautiful facsimile attempts to recreate the look of an 18th print, showing the impression of the printing plates on the paper and utilizing fine paper the exact size of the original with irregular deckel edges. As this work was the very first publication of Hoffmeister & Kühnel (forerunner of the firm C.F.

The original Froberger work first appeared in 1650 in Kircher’s Musurgia Universalis. André had given a 1782 date to this Mozart arrangement, but Wolfgang Plath has recently assigned a new date, 1785-86. For exactly whom Mozart intended the arrangement (voices or instruments) is unclear–the clefs he used, soprano, alto, tenor & bass, suggests a vocal ensemble, but there are no words.

Kassel, 1991. Oblong, 34 x 25 cm, 14, 40 pp. Halftone of the autograph score dated 16 October 1785. The instrumental force called for here—cembalo (fortepiano), violin, viola, and violoncello—was practically a novelty at that time. The manuscript shows a visible alteration in the viola part from a treble clef to an alto clef at the beginning of the first, second and third movements, suggesting that Mozart first thought of scoring the work with two violins. In any case the viola voice adds a wonderful sonorous element that Mozart exploits. Preface in Ger-Pol-Eng. Handsome binding with green laid paper boards and embossed label.

Leipzig, 1989. Oblong, 33 x 25 cm, xiii, 14 pp. Collotype of the autograph score completed August 10, 1787. This celebrated serenade or "party music" in four movements originally had a fifth movement—two minuets and their trio are now lost. The autograph calls for 2 violins, viola, violoncello and bass (string quintet) but it is often performed by a larger orchestra. The manuscript was rediscovered by Manfred Gorke in 1943; it then went to Karl Vötterle, avid collector and founder of Bärenreiter Verlag who sold it for 50,000 Deutschmarks after WW2 to help rebuild the destroyed publishing house. It is now in private hands in Basel. Introduction in Fr/Ger/Eng. Handsome binding in linen with red and gold title stamp. $75 (more info... ) [item no.3901]

Engelke, Ulrike. Melody as Musical Speech in the 17th and 18th Century. The Most Important Statements about Vocal and Instrumental Performance Practice from Baroque and Pre-Classic Sources / Melodie als Klangrede in der Musik des 17./18. Jahrhunderts. Die wichtigsten Aussagen zur vokalen und instrumentalen Aufführungspraxis aus den barocken und vorklassischen Quellen.

Münster, 2018. 21 x 30 cm, 515 pp All the important composers and theorists of the baroque and rococo periods wrote about how music should be, touching on many aspects of aesthetics, style, embellishment and technique. If there was one concern of overriding importance—whether it be instrumental or vocal music—it was the belief that musical expression should emulate human speech, that music should be “played spoken”. Contemporary reports tell it in many ways with many tips and analogies. Mattheson describes breaking up small motives of a vocal or instrumental melody by shortening syllables into “Klangfüße” using commas, semicolon and the period; other comments are blunter: “play from the soul, not like a trained bird”. This remarkable book by Urike Engelke, a distinguished performer and scholar, is a unique exploration and narrative on the subject, in easy-to-follow bilingual format (Ger-Eng), using more than 1,000 facsimile-examples to make her point and allow the masters to speak for themselves. It's an indispensable work for students and scholars interested in performance practice which can also be used as an exercise book.

Jenkins, John. Fantasia-Suites: II. Transcribed and Edited by Andrew Ashbee.

Musica Britannica, LXXVIII. London, 2010. 4º, xxxii, 159 pp. Modern critical edition. This collection includes the fantasia-suites for treble, two basses and organ by John Jenkins. Though it is impossible to date these pieces precisely, the abandonment of the galliard third movement in favor of the corant suggests a provenance later than that of the fantasia-suites in vol.I (MB 78). The virtuoso writing of the “divisions” is among the most demanding of all English consort music, and each of the nine suites commences with an extended fugal section as elaborate as anything found in the composer's viol fantasies—that of the seventh being undoubtedly amongst his finest works. Also included are the 29 surviving bass parts of the Divisions for Treble and Two Basses. Buckram. $146 [item no.6889]

Ward, John. Consort Music of Four Parts. Transcribed and Edited by Ian Payne.

Musica Britannica, LXXXIII. London, 2005. 4°. xxxviii, 106 pp. Modern edition. John Ward's music for 4 viols shows less consistency of style than his work for 5- or 6-part consort. The smooth madrigalian lines of the 6 Oxford fantasias most clearly approach the accomplishment of his characteristic pieces for larger ensembles. The Paris fantasias, which with the In nomines also included in the collection feature uniquely in a single source in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, are more variable in texture and idiom. The volume also includes 6 ayres for two bass viols and organ, brief, tuneful compositions in dance-like rhythm redolent of the almain. Buckram. $143 [item no.6563]
